SOFIA, Bulgaria - Jun 9, 2026 - Roundtrip Bulgaria has opened bookings for a fixed-date departure of its 7-day Bulgaria Tour on 18 October 2026, an autumn small-group journey designed to connect the country's landmarks into a single story rather than a string of scattered stops.
Priced at €1,190 per person and limited to a small group of no more than 12 travellers, the week-long Bulgaria Tour follows a route of roughly 1,000 kilometres that links the capital, the country's ancient cities, its mountain monasteries, and the wine valleys in between. Mid-October places travellers in the shoulder season, with cooler air, autumn colour across the Rila and Balkan ranges, and far thinner crowds than the summer peak.
The route weaves together the highlights that define the country:
- Sofia, where a single city-centre square holds a 4th-century Roman rotunda, an Ottoman mosque, a Soviet-era landmark, and the gold-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral within a two-minute walk.
- Plovdiv, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe - older than Athens or Rome - with Thracian, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Bulgarian Revival layers still in daily use across its seven hills.
- Rila Monastery, the largest and most revered Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, set 1,150 metres up in a forested mountain valley.
- Veliko Tarnovo, the dramatic former capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, where houses stack up the slopes above the Yantra River beneath the Tsarevets fortress.
- The Thracian Valley wineries and the wooden Revival-era houses of villages such as Koprivshtitsa.
Compact enough to experience in a single week yet layered enough to reward a slower pace, Bulgaria remains one of Europe's most underrated destinations - rich in history, mountains, monasteries, cuisine, and Black Sea coast.
